I agree the scale MTH Dreyfuss is very nice. I have a PS-2 that I bought used several years ago before I added command to my layout and really like it visually. It runs great conventionally. I ultimately chose Legacy for my layout, largely due to the presence of whistle steam on Legacy locos. In the ongoing absence of a Legacy Dreyfuss, I’ve given thought to converting mine from PS-2 to TMCC, but I would want to keep the sounds and get rid of the tether. I assume this would run, what, $500+ or so? That has always seemed like a lot to put into an old loco that still wouldn’t have Legacy or whistle steam. So, my wait for one to show up in the catalog continues .....
I’m also waiting on a Legacy NKP Hudson, most likely a brass hybrid. I don’t know if they will ever do that one, but Murphy’s Law suggests that if it does ever get done, it will appear in the same catalog as the Dreyfuss for the sole purpose of tormenting my credit card.
I’m on the hook Day 1 if either ever shows up in a catalog.
